Happy Birthday Boys!

This weekend we had a small family party to celebrate Tim's 5th birthday and Ben's 2nd birthday. We had a great time! The boys loved having all of their grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and uncles over to play. The highlight for them both was blowing out candles and eating cake!
















I can hardly believe Tim will be 5 on Wednesday! It seems like yesterday we were anxiously awaiting his arrival. He's made some big strides this year. He loves going to Messiah's 4 year old preschool program (Thank you Ms. Mary and Ms. Carol! You guys are the best!). He's learning his letters and sounds, counting (but doesn't seem to like the number 15 as he always skips it!) and can write his name. He loves playing with trains of any type - wooden trains, thomas trains, geotrains, model trains, he loves them all!

Our little Benjamin is growing up quickly, too. He's speaking in full sentences most of the time, something I certainly attribute to trying to keep up with his big brother. He follows in Tim's footsteps and adores trains of all types. He loves to pretend play with figures and is one of the sweetest kids I know. He loves to snuggle and is quick to give hugs. He's always wearing a smile, too. My parents call him 'jumping boy' or 'tigger' because he jumps everywhere! He'll hop across the house just for fun. He's never short on energy :)

Happy birthday to my two fantastic boys. Mommy and Daddy love you!
